Summary

This trial is testing a new drug, MEN1611, to see if it is effective and safe to treat patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with metastatic colorectal cancer that has progressed after treatment with certain chemotherapy and anti-EGFR drugs. Participants must have a specific gene mutation (PIK3CA), no prior PI3K inhibitor treatments, stable heart and lung function, controlled diabetes, and no active severe infections or brain metastases.
What is being tested?
The study is testing the combination of MEN1611, a new drug, with Cetuximab in patients whose tumors have a particular genetic change. It's an open-label Phase Ib/II trial which means everyone gets the experimental treatment and researchers track its effectiveness and safety.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions to medication infusions, gastrointestinal issues like diarrhea, changes in blood sugar levels or blood pressure, skin reactions due to Cetuximab, fatigue, and increased risk of infection.
